Harrison Bulley - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable, scalable and cost-effective solution that helps with inbuilt scripts for easy modification
I think the software is quite good, but we have had problems with getting it to recognize certain areas and amend certain checks, where we needed so we would have to create backend scripts for those checks. Though, being open source, it has the support to create backend scripts, it would be better to have these scripts in-built.
ShaheenKapery - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved our IT efficiency and problem resolution capabilities but MDM integration needs improvement
A lot of it is the ability to tell me what the problem is, even if it's a hardware or software error. The diagnosis is really nice, and it's enough for my technician to arrive with the right parts to fix it the first time. We don't need that extra truck roll. The fact that it can tell us which part to take with us, the most likely part that we need to replace, is a huge benefit. From an internal IT perspective, the integrations are really easy. Most of them can be done by even a tier-one technician. It's very straightforward: you click where it tells you to click, you do what it tells you to do, and it works.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The drafts are easy but what I like about Icinga is that there are many add-ons that you can download."
"The apply rules feature saves a lot of time."
"I like the ability to amend and adjust things really easily, which is useful in a case where you could make it auto-discover and then set a template to say all of these applications or servers under this template have an automatic threshold set that you’d set up manually."
"Icinga does the job and is fairly stable."
"The ability to customize scripts and build your own queries to request information from the infrastructure elements you want to monitor. This level of personalization and customization is highly appreciated."
"Icinga has multiple automation and integration features. There is an API for everything and a web UI for configurations. The APIs enable you to automate tasks in Icinga. We can also use plugins to talk to the API. The Icinga Director talks to a database in the background, and you can import settings from the CMDB to all systems in Icinga."
"It is really easy in Icinga to create your own plugin and integrate it without any fuss. And it works just perfectly fine."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The stability is good. Our systems have been up for over two years without any stability issues."
"It is a product that is very easy to learn."
 

Cons

"I think the software is quite good, but we have had problems with getting it to recognize certain areas and amend certain checks, where we needed so we would have to create backend scripts for those checks. Though, being open source, it has the support to create backend scripts, it would be better to have these scripts in-built."
"At this time, the layout of the website is a bit difficult. It should be more user-friendly for changing the background and logos."
"Icinga’s automation could be improved."
"One of the areas that are frustrating is remote monitoring for more than one machine."
"One thing that Icinga lacks is the capability to create advanced and customized dashboards within the tool itself."
"We have found some problems with Nagios, and support isn't very responsive."
"The installation and configuration are very complex."
"The user interface should be improved."
"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."
"I would like to see MDM integration improved."
"At times, there is degradation in performance."
